Hi Members,
I've just joined the group, and I have to admit it is with a little bit of
nervousness, mainly because my emphasis during the last several years has
been to work alone (and I mean really alone, unplugged from TV, newspapers,
or radio). On a normal day, my phone rings maybe twice (if it's not
unplugged).
My main area of interest is recording soundscapes, particularly the quiet
ones in remote areas, and while I work with a variety of microphones, I
pretty much love the Neumann KU-81i Dummy Head. Binaural recording has been
challenging for me, and this has led me to an approach for 'nature sound
portraiture' which can be summarized as: location, location, location. I've
gone to various parts of the world, but my favorite place is up the Hoh
Valley, right here at Olympic National Park, where I am trying (and meeting
with some success) to preserve One Square Inch of Silence.
On the flip side, I also record loud social events (arena sports), loud
modes of transportation (race cars, steam engines, jets), and whatever a
client calls for. This drives me absolutely crazy. But it is a rush at times
and helps my circulation.
I am interested in exploring new sounds and spaces/places to find them, and
learning from others in the group about techniques that I've not tried. And
I hope that I may in some why be of help to others.
All the best,
Gordon
